Mahogany-hued mare is startled. "What ledge?!" she exclaims, for she knew of no such thing.

A shadow slips through the forest, unobserved. [[And please keep it that way -- you have a habit of having your characters see EVERYTHING, Faith. This time, I have a purpose for secrecy for my characters. No offense.]] Black colt listens to th' conversation, watching these idiotic silverbloods and his twin sister, whom he scorns.

White filly senses her twin brother nearby, and unobserved as well, she slips away from her mother and th' unknown stallion. Fleet, light hoofbeats mute 'pon the moss-covered, she approaches her twin. Orbs stare at him, clearly saying that she wishes them to move someplace more private.

The two move off through th' untracked wilderness, careful t' move in one direction only, so they may make their way back with ease.

"Are you happy now?" Mulan hisses quietly t' her twin. "Is this what you hoped to accomplish?"

The look in her twin's flaming orbs frightens her, though not th' way th' hurrok's gaze had frightened her mother. "Not by far," he whispers back.

"You WOULD have to be greedy, too," she mutters. "After terrifying Almase, running away from Mama, causing a fight between the two, AND eavesdropping, you're STiLL not satisfied?"

"Might I remind you that YOU ran away and eavesdropped as well, hypocrite?" He seems amused, in that cold way of blackbloods.

"For far better reasons than you did!" she snaps back, forehoof raking the ground in irritation.

"And now that you have reached your goal--"

"--Not by far!"

"Shut up, girl!" He strikes out at Mulan, who falls, and places his forehooves on her barrel t' keep her down, a movement performed not so long ago by *Raya and Almase. He catches her gaze, although she fights not to allow this, and Mulan is unable t' look away from her brother's fiery orbs. She recalls what Almase had said about his eyes...

He is speaking now. "Join me, twin," he whispers. "Join me, fellow blackblood, and we shall conquer all. We were born to do this, to eliminate the light and thus promote the darkness. We--"

"What's all this about 'we'?!" Mulan breaks free now, by rolling 'way from his hooves. "I wouldn't do that if my life depended on it!" Her forelimbs strike out, causing Sombra to stumble backwards and fall. As he had done to her moments earlier, she walks over and places her forelegs on his barrel. She looks deep into his eyes, ignoring th' danger. No power rises up t' hold her, and so Mulan speaks again: "You are not my twin!" Turning, she breaks eye contact, racing away.

Sombra's voice floats after her: "Someday those words shall be put to a test!"

Mulan ignores him and races on, back t'wards her mother.

Black colt gets up, watching his twin go, realizing that he cannot stay. Mulan shall tell his mother and the unknown stallion, as well as Almase. Told twice, *Raya will listen. Turning, he walks calmly away from th' terra.
